portraits Miss J.

Thanks for view and critiques!

I'm not fond of the heavy processing in this case, but her expression is great.

I like it and the model. The pose does not make the best use of the silky slithery nightgown because the legs are not extended to show them at their best. I guess I feel this model is not displayed to her best advantage by the kind of brown cushion she leans on nor the uncomfortably slightly off balance position of the knees. I like the vignetting acutally. Just wish her lovely legs were more on show...I wish you well Massimo, Bene,,,

I do like this. The points in the above to comments may be valid but sometimes people wish to see things differently when there is nothing wrong with the way things are.

It holds up well on second viewing. The goal is to make the model and the image even better with mild options suggested. If it were perfect the way it is then that too is an opinion and not to be discarded. Ask ten people and get ten opinions. Reject them all or think about them as a no cost education/chit chat by friends who also shoot a girl once and a while and admire the female form. I do wish you well and I like Miss J's classic facial structure and complexion did I say that. I still think perhaps the vinyl covered block is not a good color fit but that is just me,just a thought. Bottom line is I like it. I like her/// I like the lighting and the wild vignetted backdrop.... May be puffingly better to just say "fantastic capture." " -----one of the best glamor shots I have seen" If that helps anyone..."Those elegant fingers are to die for. What is he phone number?:-) :-) and her day rate?? :-) Critique is homage -not always helpful ways but homage I do believe) You caught our interest.

There IS something wrong when the model has bright halos around her, and a piece of background is MISSING under her right arm. (When you extract an object from a background, you have to get rid of all of it.)

LOVE IT !!!

Many thanks for all your suggestions and comments. they help me to improve me. I tried to make some editing with color curves and background burning. no subject extraction. She isn't a model, only a nice friend!
